How do pizza orders near the Pentagon predict major government events?

This episode of Little Fish features hosts James Harkin, Dan Schreiber, Andy Murray, and Anna Ptaszynski sharing listener-submitted facts. The show is a shorter, research-enhanced spin-off where the QI Elves delve deeper into audience contributions. Izzy Turner's fact reveals the four clock faces on St. Anne's Church in Cork City each display a different time, earning it the nickname "the four-faced liar." Andy shares a related anecdote about a church in Beckles, Suffolk, which has only three clocks because locals didn't want neighboring Norfolk to know the time. The conversation digresses into Cork's surprising status as a major production site for Viagra. Jamie Thompson's submission introduces the "Pentagon Pizza Theory," which suggests monitoring pizza deliveries near the Pentagon can predict major government events. Matt Bromhead contributes that country singer Patsy Cline gave out her home phone number to fans. Tom Hayes notes that former UK Liberal Democrat leader Ming Campbell once beat O.J. Simpson in a 100-yard race. Jake Clements shares that a type of bramble has the Latin name *cockburnianus*, named after the Cockburn family. Drew Ferguson highlights that the least weasel's conservation status is "least concern." Soam Mohajee's fact states lower-league football club Grimsby Town has been unbeaten against Manchester United for nearly 100 years. Phil P recounts the 1918 stage death of magician Chung Ling Soo, whose real name was William Ellsworth Robinson. A surprising insight is Andy's claim that quartz in watches vibrates faster in warmer temperatures, making them run slightly fast. The hosts imagine an alternate history where Ming Campbell's athletic career prevents Tommie Smith's iconic Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics. They humorously debate the poor titling of the *Now You See Me* film series. The group revisits classic facts from the main podcast, assigning them to Patreon supporters; these include a video game designed to last generations, parachuting dogs used in the Normandy landings, and inflatable owls used by NASA to scare birds from shuttles. One revisited fact claims the anti-piracy DVD warning used pirated music, though its accuracy is noted as disputed. The tone is consistently lighthearted and conversational, filled with rapid-fire banter and playful digressions. The style is educational yet informal, focusing on obscure trivia and humorous tangents. Listeners who enjoy quirky historical anecdotes and spontaneous comedy will love this episode. Those preferring tightly structured, single-topic narratives might find the segment jumps and inside jokes less engaging.
